2013 Map of Sanborn

About this map

The town of Sanborn serves as the focal point of this southwestern Minnesota landscape, situated at the intersection of Us-14 and Us-71. The Cottonwood River meanders across the northern half of the region, joined by several tributaries including Dutch Charley Cr and Highwater Cr. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural grid, where long avenues like Kenwood Ave and Knox Ave partition the terrain between the borders of Redwood Co and Cottonwood Co. For those researching local history, the placement of the Germantown Evangelical United Methodist Cem and the Sanborn Cem provides significant data points on early community nodes outside the main town center. The drainage patterns of Dry Cr in the south further illustrate the local topography that dictated early road placement and property lines in this prairie region.
